Update: Trigger Warning

This has been an extremely fun yet challenging week for this next piece. Although I did not post by Friday, there will be a post coming today. I just have to issue a warning because there will be disturbing and possibly even triggering events that occur in the story. Although I knew that at one point it would come up in the story, I was not sure when I started this project if it was going to happen this quickly or not. I actually didn't want it to happen right now (hence the hesitation to post it by Friday), but it seems that it has arrived sooner in the storyline than I originally expected, so I will go ahead and say that there will be violence against women and sexual assault depicted. 

I do not use it for fun or meaningless shock value. I assure you, I take these offenses very seriously and would never speak of them lightly by any means. I will tag this update with the trigger warning in key words, and I will also list them in the key words when I post the actual piece that has the actions in it, and as the story grows, if there are any other instances where I feel this may be an issue, I will put them in the key words at applicable parts as well. I hope you all had a great weekend, and continue to enjoy the story.

Thank you for being here.

Before Death, Part I: Chapter One, The Prophecy--Part V

That day, the first angel to appear to her after her departure from paradise presented himself.  Carrying the bag and band of water bottles did not prove as irritating as one might have thought. She was used to carrying different harvests of fruit and grain in the Oasis. Just because it was paradise did not mean she did not have her share of responsibilities. She realized she had not seen any predatory wildlife since the bird and snake fight. She looked down at her feet, hoping to not accidentally step on something vicious hiding in the dunes as she walked past. The last thing she wanted was to step on anything by mistake. The only thing visible the entire distance ahead was the sea of sand surrounding her.  She squinted her eyes at a growing figure in the distance.  What is that? she asked silently. It was at that moment she realized she really had not had any interactions with other beings than herself since she left paradise. For a second she thought the imag...

Before Death-- Part I: Past, Chapter One: The Prophecy, Pt. I

When the ties that bind create a line that doesn't know yet falls in place,  a woman's voice echoed in her ears as if she said it herself, causing her to pause for a second and look around.  "Hello?" she called out. "Can anybody hear me? Where am I? Can you please tell me where I am?" No one answered. Her breath and heart fought for residency in her throat, forcing her to stop dead in her tracks, stand up straight and reach her arms to the sky, rolling her shoulders in half circles to release the pressure building due to the lack of oxygen in her chest, dissipating the tension immediately. The exaggerated depth of her stretch allowed her to achieve a full diaphragmic inhale, and she exhaled slowly so as to remain silent. Her joints popped and unwound from the graceful range of motion. She was so cramped and uncomfortable, but the stretch helped. The mystery woman's voice repeated itself as she glanced down the empty corridor. Looking behind her, to the r...

Prologue-- Oasis

They lay in the grass bare naked and laughing. Woman touched Man gently on the face, running her hands lightly across his strong, nimble jaw. He closed his eyes and leaned his head softly against her fingers, allowing her to caress him as she rested his head on her bare chest. She kissed the top of his head softly and began humming a weightless melody that enveloped him in desire like he never felt. Euphoria sang as it traveled above in waves til it spread apart from its individual pieces like cousins touching fingers as they say their goodbyes at family gatherings. Man turned his head to look up at Woman and felt a tremor of pleasure run through him like electricity. He kissed her all over her golden sun-warmed skin, silently declaring his pleasure at such a mate. She was so beautiful she glowed at night. She was perfection. He ran his fingers through her long black hair that shone in the starlight like melted silver.  He thought of the night before.  Music sang around them a...
